Hi,
firstly sorry if this is in the wrong area but I couldn't quite work out where to pop it! It doesn't really fit into survival food.
my question is for those members that (brew?) their own wines / mead. Me and my house mate have recently gotten into the idea of creating our own mead. Partly as the only supermarket in the area has stopped selling it and it's a staple with our meals so we do go through a fair bit! :eek:
The trouble I'm having is all the recipes I've found take months and months (up to 6) now I know it will take a while to ferment the honey / other fruit but before we venture down this path would you say it's worth it? and do you have any advice for a newbie into this field.
The way I see it is if everything does goes get fubar then I want to make sure I can still enjoy some good mead with my meals :D And if it doesn't I've still learnt a cool new skill !
thanks
